Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto warned of the consequences of the war in Iran, believing it could compromise the global leadership of the United States and pose a risk of major escalation, including nuclear.
In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Guido Crosetto expressed his concerns about the way the conflict is unfolding, suggesting a possible "madness" linked to rising tensions. He emphasized that this war could weaken Washington's international standing.
Italy, a NATO ally of the United States, recently refused to allow American military aircraft to transit through the Sigonella airbase in Sicily, en route to the Middle East. This decision illustrates the reluctance of some European partners to become more involved in the conflict.
Close to the Prime Minister Giorgia MeloniGuido Crosetto also raised the specter of nuclear escalation, recalling the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. He warned against the persistence of nuclear weapons and their potential proliferation.
These statements reflect growing concerns among Western allies about a conflict that could further destabilize the international order. As tensions continue, calls for restraint and a diplomatic solution are increasing.
